[Ltru] Re: last response



Hi Jefsey -

I don't know why you are trying so hard to get us to suspend your posting
privileges under the terms RFC 3934.   All concerned would be better served
if you instead focused your considerable energy on proposing specific
text for the drafts.  You might also be a more effective advocate if you kept
your postings short and to the point.  If you stop insulting WG members and
misrepresenting their positions, they might be more inclined to listen to
what you say.

However, if your disruptive postings cause the WG to waste excessive time
and energy, your posting privileges may again be suspended.

Randy, ltru co-chair
